Pukatawagan is a small Northern community in Manitoba that has taken the initiative to host an annual talent contest. Because their first year had an overwhelming response it will now be an annual event. Gordon Caribou and his associates have organized a spectacular venue where 1st Nation Artists can make their initial introduction into the music industry.

The response from the winners have been most gratifying since they had a chance to travel into Winnipeg and record their songs at a state of the art recording studio.

Instrumentation:

Sidney Castel - Vocal: The Ballad of Pukatawagon

The community where I was born and raised the little bit of history of Pukatawagon the lifestyle and events that take place in a Northern Community. I thought they could use this song to play on the community radio program. To also use the song as a theme in some events and hear the history of Pukatawagon.

Lorna Chadney - Vocal: Alone

I really enjoyed singing with the band, the setup was nice and my stay here in Winnipeg was awesome. I hope the next contest will be just as much fun as the first.

Barbara A. Dumas/Marlene Dumas Vocal: Beautiful Rose

Dedicated to my sister Rose, who passed away years ago from breast cancer. My main interest is to sing gospel music. My parents both sang for the church and other church functions. The encouragement to sing comes from them.

Alfred Bear Shona Bear: Indian SongVocals By: Demoley Nateweyes

The song features the life of an Indian. The song explains the connection of the circle of life. Mother earth and nature provides us with what we need to live, we are guided by grandfathers.

Through the loss of a good dear friend, Ed, without cause or reason, still he will be sadly missed.

A political song of how the world is run. I found that this was a great opportunity for the talent that is out there.

Tansi, my name is Charlie Beardy I am from Split Lake, MB. I love playing music and writing songs. As for my original song, it was just a party song. I never thought I'd get the chance to record it, so thanks to M.R.N.C.I. for setting up the recording.
